Bhadradri Kothagudem, Oct 22 (UNI) Telangana Panchayat Raj, Women and Child Welfare Minister Danasari Anasuya Seethakka on Thursday described Komaram Bheem as a great leader who fought against the Nizam’s rule and sacrificed his life for Adivasi rights under the slogan “Jal, Jungle, Zameen” (Water, Forest, Land).

The Minister said safeguarding the constitutional rights and reservations of Adivasis was everyone's responsibility. She called for unity and cooperation to address community issues and ensure their development.
Urging people to follow Komaram Bheem’s ideals and preserve Adivasi rights and dignity, she concluded with the slogan, “Jai Komaram Bheem!”
